“Josh knew the most valuable assets he could give his children were what his parents had given to him and his brothers and sister. He hoped he had become the man they wanted him to be. They taught them that their word was their bond; never lie. Wasn’t anything much worse than a liar. They taught them to stand up for themselves and for those who were weaker.

― Donald L. Robertson, Logan's Word: A Logan Family Western - Book 1

“I'm from the Lenape Tribe.

― Elizabeth Taylor, Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont
